    1998 Broom Yellow Punto GT3

    Right I am wanting something different as ive found a job and want something a bit bigger for my tools etc


    I have never come across a shell that has never been welded or repaired on the floor pan so I bought it off a fellow member back in 2009 along with the engine, gearbox, driveshafts and hubs. It has FSH up to this day from new all stamps to prove

    Since then I carried out the following work

    • New front wishbones with Powerflex Bushes
    • All the belts and tensioners
    • All the boost pipes to 50mm ones with Samco Elbows and Joiners
    • Had a full service done every 3,000 miles
    • Changed all the disks with new Brembo discs and changed all the pads (EBC Green Stuff )
    • 2 New Federal Tyres


    All modifications are as followed
    • KW Variant 2 Coilovers
    • Supersprint Downpipe and Decat Combo
    • Mongoose Exhaust (Fully Lagged)
    • Nomad Pillar Gauge holder
    • Autogauge AFR gauge
    • Autogauge boost controller
    • Front Mounted Intercooler
    • 50mm Boost Pipes with Samco Elbows
    • TSW Black Alloys
    • Samco Top Boost Hose with d/v outlet
    • SEB0 GT1 ECU
    • Sub Box mounted around the rear arch
    • Inlet and Rocker Cover Painted in Black and Yellow
    • Tinted Rear Windows
    • Tinted Rear Lights, Indicators and Side repeaters
    • Stealth Shelf


    MOT :08/09/2010

    Tax :31/09/2010

    Many more can't think off the top of my head

    Here are some pictures



















    Will get more pictures of the interior etc tmoz

    Bad Points
    • Damage to the Drivers Door were someone broke into my car to steal the stereo
    • The spoiler is a different colour yellow to the rest of the car (Like this when I bought it)
    • Tracking needs doing (PAS squeeks due to this when locking over to the left)
    • Front Bumper Needs a re-spray
    • Crack in the side skirt will include a set of new ones i was going to have sprayed
    • ABS light on due to rear sensor wearing through on the wheel
    • o/s/r caliper binding on disc
    • Plastic tank to be fitted cause of fuel leak


    Uncracked exhaust manifold with inlet/exhaust manifold fitted

    I have been very particular in describing my car to be as honest as possible

    I have alot of spares to go with this car will include for the asking price


    Iam wanting £1500 for this car as I have spent alot of money getting my car to this stage just wish I had the time to finish it
    Any questions ring me on 07986 553680

    Thanks Carl

    Maybe you should try describing your punto how it is. Went to view and never told me abs light was on, never told me rear discs were binding. pull up to traffic lights and plume of white smoke came over us from exhaust and was told its cuz the rear brakes are binding a bit ??!
    Pulled off from house on full lock, and power steering making a right loud noise, again told its cuz the tracking is out. Never heard that excuse before.
    You could not drive tht down the m1 for over an hour without having a blow out mate.
    Service history. well the last stamp is dated the 07/10/2010 .I queried it and was told its the thickos at the garage have put date wrong way round. Well that date is still 2 days ahead of when I was viewing it. The same thickos who are servicing that very car.
    Not gear gaitor frame.
    No plastic cill plates inside, told in storage. Engine nearly cuts out when fan comes on and touched the bonnet and was like it had wobbly bolts fitted.
    Holes drilled all the dash with no switches or anything to make look abit tidier.

    Told what do u expect for the money and the mileage. Expect a honest description!!

    what about telling there is holes in the dash and no gear gaitor surround. and no plastic cill guards. Come on dude, you've had enough chances to be honest.

    1500 based on that description? theres bob hope and no hope.
    sounds like its worth about 600-700 tops what with the smoke, dash holes, etc....
    personally with the schoolboy error trying to fudge the FSH i'd run a mile from it.....
    worth more broken that as a car....

    TBF a lot of the Power Steering Punto Mk 1's do squeak when on full lock - even when in good condition.

    I remember a friend at college who had one nearly new and it used to do it.

    Iam picking them up today to put on i dont have a gear gaitor cause the ebay seller sent me the wrong one it was for a mk2 (rectangular instead of square)

    As for the holes in the dash i will have to use them for something more constructive
